Besieged By Darkness

Dreams of yesterday 
Faded like footprints on the sand
Stagnant goals
A disease that has no end
A soul struggling to carry on

The grim reaper looks for me
Eager to pass its final judgement 
Hoping to carry me to death's pit
I want to ran in despair
Yet it fills me with fear and sadness

Without strength I try to fight
I do what I can to carry on
All I can do is wait for a sign of life
Hoping it fills the void in me
Filling the emptiness which overwhelms my soul

I feel as if I am facing the abyss
Anticipating my final moment
I watch my life as it plays
That old horror movie which does not let go

Do not dare to sob
Do not dare shed a tear
I am but the one you have forgotten 
Do not dare try to remember me
A struggling soul who tried so hard
Yet all you could do was tear it apart
